One of the reasons I bought this router was that it supported both ADSL and cable/fibre connectivity. I thought I was being future-proof.

Here is what it says on the web :

The TD-W8970 supports ADSL or Ethernet WAN connections (EWAN) that allow users to have the flexibility of different Internet connections among ADSL, cable or fiber modem using its interchangeable LAN/WAN port. This unique feature makes it easier when users need to change to fiber or cable services when necessary. Its EWAN to LAN throughput can achieve up to 900Mbps+ allowing users to unleash the full potential of their networks.

But that was many moons ago and now I was wondering if this router is even compatible anymore.

Would it support the current setup of fibre supplying data and phone services?

The real question is: Why would you want to use that router instead of the Vodafone supplied one?

Mostly because it works and is already set up for everything I do (I have port forwarding setup to my WHS2011 server, I don't think there is anything else more complicated than that), and because I am not an expert in such things, I do not know any better.

Which is why I started this thread really.

Are you saying the VF one will be better?

The HG659 Vodafone supply is a higher spec device and also has dual band WiFi.
